Dc's Legends of Tomorrow is een leuke verkleed partij van de week show met een herkauwing van decors, en toch nog erg kijkbaar weet te blijven. In de show speelt Maisie Richardson-Sellers de rol van Amaya Jiwe, a.k.a. Vixen) en deze had een interview met de website Collider en daar van kan je hier onder een klein stukje lezen.


Collider: The superhero shows on The CW really have some great, strong female characters. How cool is it, and what does it mean to you, to be a part of such a great group of women, both as actors and as characters?

RICHARDSON-SELLERS
: It's a real privilege, especially being one of the first African American female superheroes. To be able to be a strong woman and a role model is, of course, fantastic. They really do great job of making the females just as dynamic, just as layered, just as tough and just as complex as the male characters. And having a female leader of the ship is fantastic. It's fantastic to be a part of that.

Amaya has had quite a journey, since her first appearance on Legends. How do you think she's most grown, as a person, and what have you most enjoyed about getting to explore that growth?

RICHARDSON-SELLERS
: For her, the JSA was a very pragmatic group of superheroes, but the Legends are much more haphazard. When she first came up against them, she was very clear about, "I'm not one of you." But over the season, she's learned to really like these people, enjoy their company and respect them, each in different ways. Even with Mick Rory, the one she's butted heads with the most, she's affectionate towards him. He's a friend now. She understands him. She's learned to relax and learned that there are other ways to be a hero, and that you don't have to be so formal, all the time. She's also learned to make friends. That's been fun to play. Also, there's the romance with Nate, which allows her to be a bit playful and explore a relationship in a new way. It's a huge shift from what she had with Rex.
